New Swan, Atherstone

This is a detached Georgian styled pub, part cafe and, I believe, also a B&B. It is mainly in a white rendered upper, with cream rendered stucco lower and with black paintwork around the windows and door, as well as the quoin endstones. The frontage has two sets of bay sash windows and a nice pilastered door with plain entablature. The interior has a couple of rooms served by a central island bar. The room to the left on entering through the main door is marked as a 'Coffee Room', so I immediately turned to the right and went into the pub element. The bar here is half-way up the room on the left. This room is in a white wallpaper with red pattern, with red lower wall, along with a white ceiling and a wood floor. The seating was a mix of stools and perimter seats, many were in some stripey pattern. A few local pictures adorn the walls and there is a dart board at the one end. The TV had daytime stuff on, but they do show the footy matches etc. The blinds on the windows give the room a little of the bistro feel, but overall it still feels more of a pub. They do food, though i didn't eat or see the menu so can't comment on that. There was some soft background music playing. The service was fine and the clientele was a few maturer locals. Beer; usual tap stuff with a decent Bass on handpull. This was a decent enough place. Whilst it has a modern feel with the wallpaper, stripey seats, blinds on the windows and the coffee room, it still has a good pint of Bass. I would return here, but likely for one.
